Animals in the australian deserts have made adaptation to the extreme heat such as having less fur such as the kangeroo, or for instance the snakes in the desert have no fur so they stay cool. Some of the plants that are in the desert are the cacti the animals have made adaptations to the spikes so that they can get the water that is inside of the cactus.
The temperatures in the Australian desert all depend on if it's a cold or a hot desert. A cold desert in the winter can only get down to 28 degrees fahrenheit, while in the summer the temperature is between 70 and 79 degrees. Temperatures of a winter in a hot desert are from 68 to 77 degrees in the summer the temperature can reach up to 120 degrees fahrenheit. the desert only gets less than 50 cm of rain in a year.

Summer: December to February
Autumn: March to May
Winter: June to August
Spring: September to November
Geography Deserts are located where vegitation is low and almost nonexistent. Deserts take up 1/3 of the Earths land. Deserts cover a large portion of Australia. Most deserts are located in centural and north-western part of the country. The sizes of the deserts in Australia are 529,000 sq mi. 70% of Australia is the Outback. 40% of Australia is made up of sand dunes. The largest portion of Australia are deserts. The largest desert is the Great Victoria desert. It is over 700 kiliometers(430 miles) wide and covers an area of 163,900 sq. miles. Do to the aridity and dryness of the desert there's almost no farming.It is named after Queen Victoria Within South Australia, is Mamungari Conservation Park, one of the fourteen World Biosphere Reserves in Australia and has natural arid zone wilderness and contains cultural significance.
